At the end of this year’s Mirror Images’ show, Mr. Newman says, “...if you can choose to be anything, choose to be kind.”

The public performance of If You Could Choose To Be Anything will be Saturday, January 26, at 7 p.m. at the Little Theatre on the Square. Tickets are $5 and will be sold only at the theater prior to the show.
“We’ve been writing the script since October,” said Rebecca Lawson, the Sullivan High School group’s advisor, “and I am incredibly proud of the hard work this group has put in to crafting an interesting and funny show. This is the first time we have ever written a show like this - no one dies, no one gets arrested, no horrible tragedies - just typical teen issues.”
The range of the issues covered in the show were determined by the group’s writers during brainstorming meetings back in October.
One issue being tackled is what’s a guy to do when the girl he likes has no interest in him at all and hates his loud gum chewing.
Another character battles poverty and food insecurity.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
